Although the phrase "Indian wine" may sound unusual to many, vines have been cultivated in this country for thousands of years under the influence of Persian culture. Today, Indian vineyards grow grape varieties such as Bangalore Blue, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Unyi Blanc, and Chardonnay. The rest of the raw materials are imported. The best drinks are white dry wines with a rich spicy bouquet with notes of fruit, herbs, ground coriander, and pepper. India is also known for its fruit wines made from sweet tropical fruits such as mango.
